There was a gloomy wind, and when Yu Chun'er begged for mercy, maybe the great fairy also appeared, and a cool breeze suddenly blew up in the entire small courtyard of the manufacturing office!
The wind in the Forbidden City today is really evil. In the afternoon, it was a brief wall of wind that pushed forward in unison, and now it turned into a very subtle and slowly penetrating evil wind!
The wind was extremely weak, but everyone could feel it. The cold wind was obviously four or five degrees lower than the normal temperature. It came in along the cracks in the windows and doors. It passed over people's bodies and everyone couldn't help but shudder!
Yu Chun'er kowtows like garlic, "Slave, I know you shouldn't hold sacrifices privately, but the master's order cannot be violated. This is a rule handed down from our eunuch world before the war... The master said, it's time to sacrifice the owner of this half of the room. When the country is in crisis, he will take action to save us despicable and imperfect people!"
"Even if I can't save them all, I'll count them all! It's for this reason that I risk losing my head to do this job... Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Er Mao grabbed Yu Chun'er's collar and said coldly, "So, your getting rich and getting promoted over the years has something to do with worshiping the immortal family?"
"Yes... Mr. Steward, please take a look at the wine jars on the table. To outsiders, they may appear to be placed there, but in fact they are all dedicated to the Immortal Family!"
"On the first and fifteenth day of every month, as well as during major festivals, I secretly get chickens, ducks, and fish to offer as offerings. It's all secret!"
"Precisely because this slave is risking his head to make sacrifices, the Immortal Family also ensures my safety...otherwise, where would I find a separate house to support him?"
"Grandpa, the manager, I am really not just doing it for myself, it is really the rules passed down from my ancestors!"
Er Mao let go of him and said, "Yu Chun'er! Today's matter will be rotten in your bones, including the little eunuchs who serve you and the palace maid who is talking to Xi'er. Shut up!"
"Xiao Sixi and I have never been to your place, and we will never admit it...as long as a little bit of what happened today is leaked..."
"Haha... don't say I'm rude to you. I'm afraid everyone present, including me and Xiao Sixi, will die! You know how powerful it is!"
"I know, I know... don't worry, grandpas. My master taught me that the rule is to keep secrets since I was a child. The younger one must be tight-lipped!"
Ermao and Xiao Sixi left the manufacturing office with this shocking secret. On the way back to the palace, Er Mao said to Xiao Sixi, "Brother! Let's talk!"
"Oh, please tell me, manager, I'll listen..." Xiao Sixi said with a flattering smile.
"Xiao Sixi! Today's incident is really sensational. It has been entangled until tomorrow. It has spread to the ears of Lord Long Live, the Queen Mother, and the princes and ministers in the court... What will they think?"
"Are there still few rumors about Mr. Long Live's evil deeds in the capital now? If such a ghost story is added to the story, how can the foundation of Mr. Long Live's ruling be stable?"
"Yes, yes...brother, you are right, I am worried too!"
"Xiao Sixi... That's what I think. Everything we heard from Yu Chun'er should be treated as if it never happened! We can't tell anyone, and we should keep it secret..."
"From now on, His Majesty must always have someone by his side. The Emperor must never be allowed to act alone again!"
Xiaosi nodded ecstatically, "Yes, the manager is right... Xiaosi thinks so too. Just let Master Long live think that today's incident is just a dream!"
"Anyway, the guy in that half of the room... didn't do any harm to our Long Live Lord!"
Er Mao patted Xiao Sixi on the shoulder, "Brother, you are a sensible person. Come to my house for a drink some other time... I have found some new Western cooks to try some Western food..."
"I have to go out of the palace to do some errands. Long live the Lord asked me to find out where the head of state is... You are on duty tonight and keep an eye on the emperor, so that his majesty can rest early..."
"Well, don't worry, manager..."
The two chatted for a while and decided to keep this sensational legend in their stomachs. At 7:00 p.m., Ermao left the Forbidden City, took the imperial badge, and left the capital from the Anding Gate of the capital, heading straight for Tongzhou!
Tongzhou is the end point of the Grand Canal. Xiao Letian's armored steam battleship can only be anchored here, and the rest of the way can only be done by horseback!
Today, there are two city gates in the nine gates of the capital. One palace gate is completely within Zaichun's sphere of influence. Deshengmen and Andingmen are the two outer city gates, and Donghua Gate is the palace gate!
By guarding these three portals, Zai Chun is no longer a stupid bird who can be locked in a golden cage. He can naturally advance and retreat in an orderly manner by controlling the portals!
Take the curfew system for example. With the emperor's special waistband, Er Mao can freely pass through the three city gates during the curfew time, even if it is midnight!
What if we try other city gates? Regardless of whether you are the manager or not, I will definitely win it for you!
When the new Yulin troops at Andingmen saw that it was General Manager Ermao, they checked his waistband and let him go. More than fifty sturdy cavalrymen protected Ermao from the capital!
When Er Mao turned eastward along the Temple of Earth, he discovered that in the dark north of Anding Gate, there were all bunches of torch light!
"What's going on over there?" Er Mao asked.
A battalion commander of the new Yulin Army guarding the city ran over and saluted, "Report to the General Manager! At 4:15 this afternoon, the nine admirals gathered 5,000 troops, the Xishan Camp allocated 5,000 troops, and the Shunyi Barracks, our new Yulin Army sent 3,000 troops, from the west." , south and north to outflank both sides of the Qinghe River..."
"All flood and drought road traffic from the east to Tongzhou and other places has been blocked... None of the unruly people who caused trouble in Qinghe this time can escape, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy on the summit!"
Er Mao sighed and shook his head, "In the end, killing will clear the way. Why is this kind of benevolent government so difficult... Let's go, we can't control the lives of so many people! Go to Tongzhou..."
The cavalry went all the way east, turned around the corner, and headed straight for Tongzhou!
That night, there were killing sounds and fires on both sides of the Qinghe River. Those smart people took the opportunity to escape in the morning, but Zhuangzi, who was slow to react and was lucky, was surrounded!
Men and women were all separated and placed in separate places. The nine admirals set up six concentration camps on both sides of the Qinghe River, guarded by soldiers. The torture experts from the Capital Criminal Department entered the camps and began to screen!
We started with the interrogation of village heads, village chiefs, and reputable people in each village. There was no human rights in this era. People who disagreed with each other were often tortured immediately. There were screams in the six concentration camps. It also caused many unjust cases!
However, these emperors could not hear them. Xiao Sixi respected the imperial doctor's instructions and specially cooked a bowl of soothing medicine for Zai Chun. After drinking it, the little emperor fell into a deep sleep at nine o'clock that night!
Zai Chun was really tired this day, and he encountered such a yin creature, which really consumed a lot of energy. A bowl of calming decoction was more effective than sleeping pills, and after a while he actually started snoring!
